March 25, 2018 Pictures from this fantastic week

This week has been busy and great. Highlight of the week was Saturday seeing Anjana be baptized. It was such a special day for her and the whole ward. We were able to involve the Young Women's in the baptismal program and the fellow shipping was really cool. She has been able to step right into the ward comfortably which is great to see.

We saw one of the coolest miracles I have ever witnessed on the day of the baptism!! We had a miscommunication with our ward mission leader on who would fill up the font and so with an hour before the service was suppose to start we said a prayer because we didn't know what to do, and then rushed in to start filling the font which take on average 3 hours to fill!! We quickly opened the curtain that was covering it and got the biggest shock of our lives as we looked down and saw the font already filled. We immediately started to investigate because it shocked us so bad, but after asking everyone who could have possibly filled the font, and getting a confirmation that the font was drained after the baptism last week, we just said a prayer of gratitude for the huge blessing we received. 

This Saturday we have a baptism planned for Janet. Which should be awesome. We are reviewing the lessons with her and she is really excited. 

Next week we have the baptism of Deo planned. He is working hard to drop his habits of drinking and smoking. He is doing a great job! His motivation, he told us, is so that he can be sealed with his family. 

This week we also me and Elder Ishibashi have been able to find some great new investigators. One Indian man whose wife is a member came to us and ask if we could teach the lessons. He is a Muslim, but is interested in learning about the church so that he can make a decision what to do in his life. We were able to bring Brother Naidu who is in the Naulu Bishopbrick. He was a huge help and it turned out to be one of the coolest lessons I have been a part in my whole mission. I think that is because of the sincerity of Abdul, the husband, and his willingness to listen to the Spirit. 

We are seeing so many blessing and I am so thankful for this opportunity! 

A lot of the pictures are from a day trip we got to take back to Suva because our truck was getting serviced!! It was so awesome to see all of the recent converts! They are all doing so dang good! 

Not so much time today, but things are going great and Iove you all so much! Hope you all have a great week!
